- Programme Structure

Contents of the programme
You will get hands-on experience with the various types of equipment and production lines by fully integrating the possibilities offered by the Centre for Feed Technology in the programme.

Teaching and training is partly based on lectures, but a considerable part is offered as demonstrations and training in groups.

The courses are mainly taught by teachers from UMB but external experts from the feed industry and international companies and institutions will also be called in when appropriate.

Compulsory courses:
Feed Manufacturing Technology
Advanced Feed Manufacturing Technology
Feed Production Planning and Management
Feed Optimalisation for Different Species
Heat Engineering
Proteins, Polysaccharides and Fats/Oils

The rest will be optional courses and master thesis

What will I learn?
The curriculum consists of a combination of nutritional, technological, chemical and physics topics, which combined will represent an unique approach to this topic.

You will become familiar with state-of-the-art feed processing equipment. You will also get knowledge about aquafeeds, petfoods and feeds for traditional production animals

What can you use this qualification for?
You will achieve skills needed for higher level management in the feed milling industry and related industries.

This Master study is also an excellent background for further scientific research in feed technology.

Admission and Requirements:
A bachelor’s degree or its equivalent, with at least: 10 credits mathematics, 10 credits chemistry/ physics, 10 credits statistics and 60 credits biological subjects, preferably including nutrition.

Applicants must demonstrate English language ability in accordance with the UMB regulations for programmes taught in English.
